Why Wilton?

Many autism services exist today, yet few are lead by actually autistic people.

This sends the message that autistic folks:

​

  • don't understand our own strengths and needs

  • don't know how to support each other

Neither of which are true.

​

Autistic people have important skills and insights that are often unique to the autism spectrum. My role as an autism mentor and peer support worker, is to help you identify & use them. 

My practice aims to be anti-oppressive. I seek to provide support that is:

​

  • anti-ableist

  • anti-racist*

  • anti-classist

  • LGBTQ+ positive

  • poly, kink, & sex work positive

  • disability friendly

  • trauma-informed

  • spiritually-focused (if desired)

​​

*As a white English settler, I'm always open to feedback on ways to do better by Indigenous, Black, and other clients of colour.

Wilton Autism WELLNESS is a life-affirming care practice.

Who I Am

| Falon Wilton |

I'm currently a Child and Youth Care student, a volunteer Girl Guides leader, and a youth arts program facilitator. I also help run a social group for queer/trans autistic people in the Toronto area.

​

A Child and Youth Care Practictioner (CYC or CYCP) is a mental health/social service professional who forms therapeutic relationships with young people in various institutional settings. These may include:

​

  • schools

  • hospitals

  • correctional facilities

  • residential care units

  • social service agencies

  • mental health agencies

​

My studies include various specialized forms of knowledge and skill sets, with emphasis on principles such as relational practice and strengths-based care.​

Education
Experience

My lived experiences as an autistic person also intersect with many of my other identities . . . queer, disabled, and femme, to name a few. I know how important it can be to receive support from those who can relate. 

​

I have been offering guidance and support about autism and related experiences to friends, family, and strangers for about two years.

​

I spend a lot of time reading and analyzing literature on autism, some of which you will find on here. In June 2017, I presented at the OACYC (provincial) Conference about autism-informed care. In the fall, I will be presenting similar information to CYC undergraduate students.

Where I Am

I am not based out of an office. Instead, I come to you. This allows me to help you integrate the skills we build together into your life space. 

​

I am available to travel to the City of Toronto, Peel Region, Dufferin County, and the City of Hamilton. Some sessions can be arranged by video chat.
